YOU COMPLETE SUCH BEAUTIFUL PIECES. YOU ARE A GOOD TEACHER'
I have used the product with no problem I love it.
I LOVE YOU!!! This video is excellent and I can't wait to try it. I'm 60 years old= I have too much "brown" furniture! So excited. Thank you!!!!
This is truly beautiful. My mom recently died, at 99 years old. I received her hutch, Ethan Allen dining room table and chairs, along with some old, strong, living room furniture. My husband loves all this MCM / Early American furniture, but I'd like to take it into the 21st century. I can only do this if I can do a wonderful job. We have a couple of vintage, very cheap end tables we got at a thrift store. My hope is if I can do a good job with that, he'll agree to let me do the hutch!
I’m OBSESSED 😍
Glad you like!
Thank you for the great video! I watched a previous one y’all had posted on the spray lacquer and completed a project based on what I learned from it. I did have one issue that I was curious if y’all could help me figure out what I did wrong so I won’t make the mistake again. I think I know the answer but wanted to check with the experts. When I was spraying the actual lacquer and the final sealer my spray cans kept leaking huge drops of the paint. Of course this became a huge issue that I tried to fix with extra layers to cover the drip marks. I was able to do so for the most part but of course I would like to avoid having to apply extra layers to for that reason. I will say that I did have the piece laying flat on the ground so I may have been spraying at more of an angle than y’all do in this video. But for the piece I was doing it just worked best laying flat on the ground. So, any suggestions to avoid this happening again would be appreciated. One last possible factor, I did this project about a year and a half ago so I was thinking that y’all may have had different spray cans at that time. Maybe y’all changed them after others may have also had this problem. I know y’all change yalls packaging from time to time and I guess I assume it’s because through trial and error that y’all find a better way to dispense/store your product than your original selection. Wondering if y’all have a new better spray can now? Thank you and look forward to hearing back from y’all soon!!
WOW!!!
Can I use a Kilz oil base primer and sand down with a fine grit?
Found a beautiful piece at Oakland Museum's annual White Elephant Sale! How many cans will I need for the go have secretary? Thanks!

Hello. Great tutorial! Quick question, in using the spray can laquer on a wood snare drum. Do I start from the top section then go around the entire drum then work my way down similar to this round piece of furniture example? Middle section all the way around then lastly the bottom?Thanks in advance. Steve
Yes, exactly
Do you have gold color ,hay have two chair to finish...
Here’s a tip you should put out a black lacquer. You’re missing out on the guitar builder market. I spent $25 for a can of black nitrocellulose lacquer for my guitar. You’re missing out on a market
I got the Easton green for my telecaster haha
I wish we could get this in Australia :(
Yes, we do!
Can you put the lacquer over 1 step paint or does it have to be stained?
Yes, you may lacquer over One Step! Just be sure to clean with Clean Slate first and make sure any prior wax is removed well.
Should I treat or prep bamboo any differently?
Bamboo has a smooth surface that doesn't hold paint well, so be sure to rough up the surface and apply primer before you add your color.
Can you lacquer over a piece of furniture with a heavy wood grain? How do you remove Lacquer if you ever want to change it?
Yes. You can use denatured alcohol to remove lacquer.
Can I use the clear lacquer on Chalk paint?
Yes!!
But is it as glossy as the pieces that are sprayed first with your lacquer paint?
Can i use lacquer paint on my deco furniture???
I’m not sure I can do this
